Prediction

Over the next 10–20 years, to meet projected U.S. (and broader industrialized-world) electricity demand driven by GDP growth, nuclear power using uranium fuel will need to provide a substantial share of new generation capacity; renewables alone (solar, wind, geothermal) will not be sufficient to meet that incremental demand.
Fundamentally, we are going to need to use uranium to make electricity to meet the demand of the growing the GDP that it seems we're going to to be growing it. I think this is just such a necessity.View on YouTube
Explanation

The prediction is explicitly about what will be needed over the next 10–20 years starting from 2024: that nuclear (uranium-based) power will have to provide a substantial share of new generation capacity to meet projected demand, and that renewables alone won’t be sufficient.

That time window runs roughly from 2024 to 2034–2044, so as of the current date (2025-11-30) we are only about one year into the 10–20 year horizon. It is far too early to assess whether, by the end of that period, actual policy, build-out, and grid mix will or will not conform to this claim.

Because the prediction is about a structural outcome over a decade or more, rather than an event on a specific near-term date, there is not yet enough information to determine correctness either way. Therefore the status is inconclusive (too early to tell).
